Capybarafolk (Kapinchos)

Overview

Kapinchos, also known as capybarafolk, are tranquil, peaceful and lazy people who live in villages on the banks of the Asora's rivers. Their communities are usually made up of 30 ~ 100 individuals run by the elders of the village. They live in mud houses, thatch or when there is no available material, in burrows dug in the slopes of the rivers. The personality of the Kapinchos makes any inexperienced observer tend to believe that they are lazy and accommodated beings, who prefer to stay all day doing nothing, just enjoying life. This apparent indifference is called among the Kapinchos of "noding." The normal state of their minds is peace and tranquility. Many sages debate about it by trying to find out what goes on in the minds of these people while they are swimming, and some believe that they, in fact, prefer to stare into empty space thinking of absolute nothingness.
